Chapter 400: Chapter 379: Another One Lost Their Mind
Walking out of the conference hall, Chen Shouyi found Luo Jingwen and Zhu Xueqing still waiting outside.
"Let
see your Godslayer dal!" Zhu Xueqing said with a smile.
Chen Shouyi took a gold dal out of his pocket and handed it over.
Zhu Xueqing caressed the dal, reluctant to part with it, and said excitedly: "This is the highest honor for a Martial Artist, you are now the second person in the Martial Arts Realm of the Great Xia Country."
The first, of course, is Ye Zong.
Luo Jingwen looked displeased at these words.
If Chen Shouyi didn’t have such powerful talents, he wouldn’t be as good as !
Sigh, the world is just that unfair.
Being praised made Chen Shouyi a little embarrassed, and he humbly said: "Actually, I still have a lot of shortcomings!"
"Not having great archery skills doesn’t matter, right?" Zhu Xueqing thought Chen Shouyi was referring to his archery skills, and in a brotherly way, gave him a punch to cheer him up: "As long as you’re good enough, otherwise, how could others survive?"
Chen Shouyi was speechless.
I was just being modest on the surface, was I really talking about archery?
Why does it always have to be about archery?
"What’s this about not being great at archery?" Luo Jingwen looked at Chen Shouyi and asked in surprise, as he hadn’t heard about it yet?
"During his assessnt yesterday..." Zhu Xueqing imdiately began to chatter, recounting everything that happened the day before.
Chen Shouyi felt a wave of frustration, yet had to appear unbothered on the outside.
"Hahaha..." Luo Jingwen laughed heartily and patted him on the arm, "I never thought you’d be so bad at archery, couldn’t even pass the assessnt. But considering your age, it’s understandable... This isn’t the place to chat, let’s find sowhere to sit down!"
He had many questions to ask Chen Shouyi.
Such as how to maintain a unified mind and spirit for extended periods!
As an old bachelor living a solitary life, he had secluded himself from the world and trained for over ten days. Unfortunately, other than becoming more adept at using Sword Qi, he hadn’t made any progress in controlling everything like Chen Shouyi!
It was also nearly ti for dinner, and soon the three found a nearby high-end restaurant and reserved a private room.
Once the dishes were served.
Luo Jingwen couldn’t wait to voice his doubts.
"Isn’t it simple, just maintain it," Chen Shouyi said matter-of-factly.
It made perfect sense.
Luo Jingwen thought to himself, and showing a flattering smile, he said: "Could you show
again?"
Hearing this, Chen Shouyi’s thoughts shifted, and the dishes on the table floated up and started to rotate randomly: "Just like this."
Although Luo Jingwen had seen it more than once, the shock and incredulity in his heart didn’t diminish in the slightest, he quickly asked: "Are you now in a state of unified mind and spirit, without any distractions?"
"Yeah!" Chen Shouyi replied: "Right now, my mind is incredibly serene."
"Then how do you speak? Without using your brain?" Zhu Xueqing asked in confusion.
Chen Shouyi’s mind wavered upon hearing this, causing all the dishes to slightly sway and almost drop.
Fortunately, he quickly regained control.
What do you an without using my brain?
I do use my brain when I talk!
"I’m not sure about that, but apart from talking, I really have no distractions right now. It’s probably multitasking, with part focusing and part handling surrounding matters, or rather, my conscious mind disperses and subconscious mind focuses, it doesn’t interfere with thinking at all," Chen Shouyi said after so thought. Recently, he had been reading books mostly about these aspects of thoughts.
Luo Jingwen listened, feeling numb, taking a ntal 10,000-point blow.
This subconscious and conscious stuff?
It’s like divine manipulation!
Can a person actually do this?
"Can you try using Sword Qi?" Luo Jingwen asked, slightly doubting its authenticity, thinking this young lad might be bluffing.
"Alright!" Understanding the doubt, Chen Shouyi prepared to put down the floating dishes.
"Wait, just like that!" Luo Jingwen imdiately stopped him: "Aren’t you able to multitask? Try it like this?"
"The power will be much weaker like this," Chen Shouyi explained.
"It doesn’t matter if it’s weaker, I just want to observe." Luo Jingwen said, thinking if he could use Sword Qi in this situation, he’d be... truly convinced.
Chen Shouyi felt a bit helpless.
A weaker demonstration wouldn’t be impressive!
He extended his hand, with his index and middle fingers together like a sword, quickly slicing towards a floating yet unopened bottle of red wine. Silently and without a trace, the top half of the wine started to separate slowly, and inside, the reddish liquid seed to freeze, not a single drop spilling out.
The box fell silent.
"He’s definitely hiding sothing in his hand!" Zhu Xueqing said this, not seeing any external item, imdiately grabbing Chen Shouyi’s hand, examining it closely.
His hand was long, white, smooth like jade, perfect like an artwork. Zhu Xueqing blushed, trying hard to suppress her shyness, pretended to scrutinize a bit more before hurriedly withdrawing her hand and fixing her bangs to cover her embarrassnt: "There’s nothing!"
Luckily, no one noticed Zhu Xueqing’s unusual behavior at that mont.
Luo Jingwen looked utterly incredulous: "This is impossible, it makes no sense..."
He then turned to Chen Shouyi: "How did you practice this? If it’s inconvenient to say, forget it!"
"It’s no inconvenience, it would be good if you can spread it around!" Chen Shouyi said with a smile.
He lowered all the floating objects, and the bottle of cut wine reassembled.
Sword Qi is formless and colorless, the cut was at a micron level, even after releasing his will control, not a single drop of wine leaked out, as if it had never been cut.
"My practice differs from ordinary people, the speed of refining is faster, and it also significantly enhances unity of mind and spirit, as well as willpower," Chen Shouyi said.
The two of them imdiately beca spirited, pricking up their ears.
Subsequently, Chen Shouyi explained the optimized ditation and self-refinent thod.
He had no intention of hoarding his skills selfishly, if they could learn them and spread them around to popularize, that would be for the best.
Unfortunately, it’s very challenging, controlling the subconscious is a hundred tis harder than controlling one’s body.
There’s also no effective thod to train it, it relies solely on talent.
His younger sister and cousin had been taught long ago, but unfortunately, after a few tries, they completely gave up; none succeeded.
When Chen Shouyi was able to practice it, it was with the help of the Book of Knowledge, as if he had practiced countless tis before, and learned it all at once.
He wondered if Martial Artists who have been imrsed in ditation and self-refinent for many years could actually manage to practice it.
If they could, by then he could secretly distribute the second optimized version of the thirty-six styles of body refining (the first optimized version is the sa as the current human cultivation version), the human strength, at least at the Martial Master Level, would have an explosive improvent.
...
The second optimized version of the practice was built on the basis of an optimized ditation and self-refinent thod. At that ti, even with the help of the Book of Knowledge, it still took Chen Shouyi a huge effort to finally master it.
If one cannot achieve the kind of clear-headed ditation he demonstrated earlier, it’s impossible to practice the second optimized version of ditation and self-refinent.
...
Following that, Luo Jingwen and Zhu Xueqing lost all interest in eating.
Those who could beco Martial Artists, though having diverse personalities, invariably had a deep love for Martial Arts. Upon hearing about such a mystical form of ditation, they were eager to imdiately go back and practice, leaving no room for a dining mindset.
In less than ten minutes, the al was over.
They soon went their separate ways.
Before leaving, Luo Jingwen asked for Chen Shouyi’s current address, planning to co back for guidance if things weren’t going smoothly.
